Inspector’s narrative

What the inspector wrote

Licensing Program Analyst Jennifer Velasco (LPA) conducted an unannounced case management inspection while at the facility for another purpose. LPA met with Director Shaharad Hamidi (D1) and Operations Manager Loryn Hatten (D3), toured the facility, obtained facility documents, observed staff supervision of children, and conducted interviews. During today's inspection, 90 children received care from twelve classroom staff. Based on LPA's observations, review of facility documents, and witness statements, facility staff have been attempting to supervise children on the playground while also attempting to visually supervise, from outdoors and at a distance, children who were indoors using the bathroom. This "straddling"--attempting to supervise children in both an indoor and an outdoor area--constitutes a lack of supervision. This report was discussed with D1 and D3. All licensing reports are public information and must be made available upon request for three years. The following violation(s) of the California Code of Regulations, Title 22; Division 12, was observed: see LIC 809D. Appeal Rights were provided. Notice of Site Visit shall be posted for 30 days from today's visit.

What does Type A vs Type B mean?

Type A. Serious citation. Imminent or substantial risk to children. The regulator requires corrective action immediately and may impose a civil penalty.

Type B. Lower-severity citation. Corrective action required, no imminent risk. The regulator monitors compliance on the next visit.

  • RESPONSIBILITY FOR PROVIDING CARE AND SUPERVISION

    No child(ren) shall be left without the supervision of a teacher at any time ... Supervision shall include visual observation. This requirement was not met as evidenced by: LPA's observation and multiple witness statements that multiple times staff attempted to supervise children on the playground and supervise from a distance as children used the indoor bathroom, resulting in a lack of supervision. This posed a potential health, safety or personal rights risk to persons in care.
